Lee Bobbio joined UVAFinance in November of 2022 as an Accounts Payable Specialist but somehow managed to fly under the UVAFinance Blog’s radar until recently. We’re pleased to officially welcome him to the team!
For Bobbio, his interests in music and math go hand in hand: “Musical aptitude and math are linked. Music theory demonstrates fractions and division, keeping time such.” Bobbio and his wife Jennifer have two sons: Jason (9) and Wesley (4). Bobbio and Jason take Karate together (Jason is a blue belt and Bobbio is working on his black belt), and Bobbio and Jennifer coach Wesley’s soccer team.

| The Bobbio family |
Bobbio has a broad background in finance and banking, as well as a variety of technological pursuits. Of his transition to academia from his most recent role in management at SunTrust bank, Bobbio says he finds different nuances to the traditional corporate environment, but also many similarities.
Besides his career in finance, Bobbio has also carved out a large space in his life for music. From the age of six through high school, he took piano lessons, then taught himself guitar and drums. His musical interests propelled him through school as the accompanist to the jazz band and member of the marching band into his adult life as a hobbyist working with audiovisuals and in recording studios. He’s kept busy assisting with demo albums for recording artists and doing sound design for Ralph Stanley and Livingston Taylor.
